Oh Lord, that sentence says so much about you. I, I, I, I, I...... "baggy pants", that is most definitely stereotyping. My nephew is a youth pastor and he wears them (they look ridiculous, but he wears them). I will pray. I, I, I. Yes, I am speaking for myself here. The practice of baggy pants and baggy shirts originated with the Bloods. Their purpose was so they can hide weapons. In all actuality, as a personal preference, I personally do not like the skin tight leather that the local punk rock wannabees wear either. Here is the difference. One poses a safety threat to me and the other does not. I treat the two differently. If someone walks up to me wearing skin tight leather, I actually see a lot more than I want to see. If they walk up to me wearing baggy pants, all the guns and knives I have pulled out of that clothing over the years immediately crosses my mind. I arrested someone one time who had a sawed off shotgun hidden in those baggy pants. It is not about what I like and do not like. It is about what does and what does not pose a risk to my safety. Unfortunately, If I did not know your nephew and ran into him on the street, I would treat him as if he were armed until I was able to determine otherwise. Why do you think so many schools have banned baggy clothing? Simple. To help eliminate drugs and weapons. You are not the only person on Worthy who has served as a police officer and has the scars to prove it. Keep your eyes open yes. But "treating all people wearing baggy pants the same"? Stereotyping. My grandma wore baggy pants...... im with you on that one fez i cant help but sense racism/sterotyping in these post, and im from an area in the south thats proud of its racist and segragated past so i know sterotyping/racism when i see it.... i dont mean any disrespect towards you hi.jr. but do you think it could be possible that you have been influenced by racism and not even be aware of it? go before the lord and ask him about it. god bless

When you antagonize someone for the sake of your own entertainment, everything you just stated means nothing. You may very well be everything you stated, but your attitude casts a shadow over all your achievements. The Lord isn't going to overlook your shortcomings because you were popular. He doesn't care how many friends you have or what color they are. What He's looking at are the contents of your heart. He searches your inner being to see who you really are, not just who you say you are. You can't hide from Him. The Lord tells us we are the light of the world. How bright is that light shinning when we set out to sow discomfort in the minds and hearts of others? 1 Corinthians 13 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

That's just pure ignorance. What is "ignorant" about what you put in bold text? You don't know? You deliberately set out to annoy someone just to be entertained. Where can I find that teaching in the Word? You're probably one of the reasons they don't sell to white people. Instead of challenging a woman to walk a 1/2 mile through the ghetto on a weekend night, why don't you go hang out at that store sometime when you're off duty and see how entertaining that is.
